I do own two triplexes in Scranton, and I will say the one issue is that you are going to be taking care of the utilities normally if they are not on separate meters, which could take a good amount of money away from your overall cash flow.

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.
